DaDoEs, do you have a pic of the machine? That sounds neat. I really like auto soak functions.        Pierre, do you know what that is? Is it for language reasons?       

I did the same, I have boxes of Sylvania military surplus 230 volt bulbs in the attic. Snatched up a few 277 volt bulbs when they were still being offered new despite being obscure even at the time. 230 volt bulbs on 120 last forever, they make the best nightlights.      To be clear, I am not...

That is respectable. Your machine has a built in heater and lets you choose how hot you want the wash water? Lucky! You have a setup that brings out the best in your Tide.   

Pat- I remember that. Not sure why they did not include a warm/warm setting. Personally I think all normal loads should be washed on warm/warm. Warm water relaxes the fabric and extracts more detergent IMO. Only time cold rinse should be used are permanent press extra delicate fabrics.  ...

Jerome, you were lucky in that regard. I like long auto soak cycles that progress automatically into the main wash. I never liked how few washers had this feature.      I would like a cycle sequence such as:     Fill 6 minutes   Agitate 4 minutes   Soak 8 minutes   Agitate 2 minutes...

Electric Stove, and the burners are starting to burn out.   I personally will never use a flat surface burner stove ever again if I can help it. Elements shouldn't be burning out every half decade while being so difficult to replace. 

Bob, tell me more. How do you dose? And in what machine. Tide Professional truly is the best, and coming from me who can find fault in any consumer product says something grand about Procter and Gamble.

I don't know how hard my water is, but it is somewhere around the middle low end I'd guess. Water heater is set around 140, warm is about 100-70*F at the washer flume.    In my experience Tide pro works at 70*F very, very well.   I recommend you try Tide pro. You will get better results with...

Oh, don't get me started on all the ugly color deviations of LEDs.      Right now my typing lamp is using a 75 watt Newcandescent lightbulb. Good bulbs, except the lack of fuse wire in the base gives me qualms about bulb end of service. Unlike their 100 watt versions which are uber under...

Right now I am trying out a new Elite Gourmet burner. Quality is good for $12, the burner doesn't wobble around like customer complaints say it does- it now seems anchored in place. The burner itself is a bit uneven, and temp control is awful as it would be with an indirect bi metal thermostat-...

Glad to hear you've had more luck with Tide Oxi than I have. Have you tried Tide Professional? I have a feeling you won't go back but thats just my experience talking.

After purchasing Tide Professional 8 times and using it for about 9 months now I can say that I love it. Nothing alone removes stains better than Tide Professional. A little goes a very long way so you get your money's worth. Suds are reasonable, just right and rinsing is excellent. Odors are...

John, and that is precisely why the world needs to continue manufacturing vintage products. While you have the right to dispose of new old stock, I have the right to purchase brand new bulbs and appliances built to vintage standards for my home. The market is there and I am happy about that.  ...

I agree. The packaging is straight from the past, down to the way its folded and glued together. I love it.    Modern LED roadways lights are hit or miss, and some are down right ugly or horrible. Bullets of light the hurt the eyes, pollute the sky but can't light the road. Awful.     Is...

Christmas came early this year, and, a dream come true on top of that. I found new production vintage light bulbs in new prodcution vintage style packaging. The bulbs appear to be for the Canadian market, made in China, however they are built to quality specs.      The sockets are brass and...

Has anyone tried it? My impression is that while it dissolves and rinses away well, probably better than Tide Professional, and it creates lots of thick suds in a warm wash bath, it does not clean well. Stain removal is none existent, and it does not deodorize clothes at all. I feel like it is...

He who commits sin... I don't think I could have gotten the same results with semi rigid dryer duct.    Flexible foil duct is my king.    

I used flexible foil duct and large zip ties to connect my dryer to the home's rigid sheet metal duct work.      Technically flexible foil duct is not supposed to be used for clothes dryers for several reasons, but given the its only a few feet in my case, highly flexible, and that flex duct...

That is interesting, I never knew GE did that. Deepens the whole rinsing saga mystery.     Beautiful machine appearance wise.

My Model T had Cottons Regular on the left side of the dial labelled Heavy, Medium and Light Soil, and rinse was labelled soak. To the right was permanent press labelled permanent press, knits, delicate.
